Another thing that will stop a slide from moving is the air pressure in the seals. Have someone try the retract function. Make sure that the seal is deflating. Sometimes, my slides will hesitate for a second or two....they will try to deflate some more and the slide will move once the system is happy with the slide seal pressure.
I guess my point is there are several things that will stop the slide....
1). Power to the controller
2). Power to slide motors (fuses)
3). Several external factors. Coach's emergency brake must be set. Trans not in gear. Bearing covers not retracted.
(My coach requires me to slide back the tops to the bedroom bearings. They are protected with micro switches that will halt slide travel if not in correct position)
Newell can help you diagnose using control pads.
